A SIPHON FROM LAKE ia
HOE.

S. r. Mathewson, an expert civil
Engineer, has been looking over
the situation in this State relating
to practical irrigation of unclaimed
land. The Reno Gazette reports
him as saying that he believed
there is enough water in Lake Ia
hoe to irrigate 1000, 900 acres of
all OF the available land in Western
Nevada. Bot he dosen't believe in
running tunnel four or five miles
to tap the lake. 1t would be too
expensive. He believes that the
water can be taken out of the lake
with an iron siphon, and at one
twentieth of the expense as through
a tunnel. The siphon need not be
more than a mile and a half long.
The difference in the elevation of
Lake Takoe and Carson Valley be-
ing somewhat more than 400 feet,
the power generated would be equal
to not less than 80, 900 horse pow
er. This same principle could be
applied not only to Carson Valley
but to Truckee Meadows, Mason
Valley and all other valleys in this
vicinity. BY a series of check
valve motion the water could be
taken out of the siphon anywhere
between the highest point on the
lake and the lowest in the valley.
By the use of this enormous water
pressure all kinds of manafac-
turing establishments could be start
ed and the land of sand and sage
brush might not only be made to
bloom and blossom but be covered
all over with manufacturing villages
as in New England. Mr.. Mathew
son says it is only a question of
time when something of this kind
will be Gone to reclaim all of our
Nevada lands, and thinks Nevada
capitalists could well afford to give
some attention to such a project
now. He believes that through an
effort made in this direction an inn
petus would be given to immigra-
ton to this State that, because of
our superior climate, would make a
boom which would even eclipse
that of Southern California.

SELFISH MOTIVES.

That there will be an overhaul
ing of the Pension Bureau by Con-
gressional Investigating Committee,
Is settled beyond all question.
Several Democratic Congressman
are very indignant at the way that
Office is administered, and yielding
to the pressure of their constituents
whose applications have been neg
lected, are determined that the
Commissioner shall render a full
account of his stewardship. Reso-
buttons of inquiry are already pre-
pared, backed with sufficient facts
and data, that will cause the Pen
sion Office no little uneasiness. 1t
has long been suspected that Gen.
Black was using his position for
selfish purposes, but not until re-
Gently had positive proof been col
lected that would justify an open
charge of fragrant abuse of power.
That evidence is rapidly accumulat-
ing and hundreds of instances can
be cited to show where claimants
have been subjected to un-
reasonable and needless delays,
presumably because of official hos
tility. Gen. Black was once a can
didate for Congress from the 18th
Illinois district, and very few of the
old soldiers supported him. He
was vexed beyond measure, and
threatened them with retaliation if
opportunity ever occurred. More
than a score of cases will confront
him in this investigation where he
has kept worthy men from the Pen
sion roll. 1t will be shown, too,
that the large force of special Ex-
aminers of the Pension Office, who
prowl every section of the country.
are the mere tools of this aspirant,
and are working in his interests,
instead o. adjusting the legitimate
pension claims Of a worthy veteran
or needy widow. Gen. Black pre-
ferred charges against his prede-
cessor, Col. Dudley. Dudley was
Investigated and came out all right.
Claimants who have business with
the Pension Office prefer charges
now. Let US see how Gen. Black
will come out.

The supper and fourth of July
celebration in the park last Monday
night by the Warren House Band
was the most successful affair of the
kind ever held here. They had
probably the largest crowd ever
gathered in the park. Between three
and four hundred people from the
country were present, a special train
came down from Sparta with about
forty. This large crowd was most
pleasantly entertained by the sweet
strains of music by the Band, the ex-
tensive display of fireworks, the bal
loon ascensions, and Judging from
the volume of receipts $4,000, the
long lines of tables occupied a good
deal of the attention of the crowd.
They sold about fifty gallons of ice
cream, to say nothing of other delica-
cies and more substantial dishes.
The crowd was very much disap-
pointed in not hearing the oration
from Hon. H. ]. Cardwell, which
was on the program, Mr.. Cardwell
being confined at his home with
sickness and not able to attend.
Much credit is due Mrs. r. Mead and
her large corps of efficient assistants

Ben Lomond Land and Hotel Co.

The Ben Lomond Land and Hotel
Company met Thursday morning at
the Peoples National Bank, and Or
ganized by electing j. B. Ritchey
president, and Frank COlville secre-
tary and treasurer of the company.
Funds we're provided and a commit
tee appointed to at once clear up the
underground and put in order suffi-
cient quantity Of land on top Of the
mountain for hotel and other build
ing purposes. AS soon as the grounds
are cleared off surveyor will be em-
ployed to lay off the same into lots
for a hotel and other buildings. We
understand that it is the purpose of
the Company to build a good road up
the mountain and put up hotel and
number of cottages in time for the
accommodation of guests and fami-
lies next summer. A number of lots
for cottages will be conditiOnally
given to persons who may desire to
build and occupy them as summer
resorts.
Ben LOmOnd is a spur of the Cum
berland mountains, the summit of
which is three miles south of Nc
Minnville and in full view, and is
about two thousand feet above the
sea level. From its summit one can
see eight counties. Even the Cum
berland river hills beyond Nashville
can be seen. From no other point of
the Cumberlands, of which we have
any knowledge, can one get so pleas
ant, picturesque and extensive views
as from Ben Lomond. The air and
water are of the purest, the latter be-
ing of pure free stone, almost as cold
as ice. This will be, when improved,
not only one Of the most pleasant and
healthful summer resorts for all ages,
but for delicate children in their
second summer, it will have no
equal. DIR. Black, one Of our leading
physicians, says he has known chill
dren so delicate and emaciated as to
have to be nursed on pillows, go to
Ben Lomond, and after breathing
the.air and drinking the water for
ten days, were up and running about.
1t will be easy of access when the
road is built, less than an hours
drive from McMinnville, and as soon
as the hotel is built will have tele-
graph and telephone connections.

Another New Enterprise.

The manchinery has been received
here this week by Mr.. E.P. Reynolds
for the manufacture of shayed barrel
hoops. A new room will be built to
the heading and stave factory in
which this machinery will be placed
and operated, the power being fur
nished by the heading and stave fac
tory engine. We are glad to note
the establishment of this new enter
prise. 1t will give employment to
several hands, and furnish a market
fora large quantity Of timber. We
believe it will be the only factory of
the kind in the South, with probably
the exception of one of Louisville,
Ky. There is room in McMinnville

Big Lumber Transactions.

Mr.. w. A. Rutherford left on Tues
day morning for Eastern kentucky,
accompanied by Messrs. ]. Crit
Hughes, E. S. Rowen, and Allen
Aughinbaugh, who will 20 to work
there in the log and lumber business
for the Singer Manufacturing Co.
Mr.. Rutherford has recently con-
cluded for the Singer Co., perhaps
the largest single lumber trade ever
made in the South. Nine thousand
walnut trees were purchased, none
of them less than 80 inches in diam
eter, the price paid being over one
hundred thousand dollars in cash.
These trees stand in nine different
counties of Kentucky, Virginia and
West Virginia. Messrs. Shofner &
Green have taken the contract to saw
this lumber and are now on the
ground locating saw mills and get
ting ready for the work.
During the last seven or eight years
Mr.. Rutherford has purchased and
shipped for the Singer Co., from
along the line of road between Nc
Minnville and Sparta, about 2l,000,-
600 feet of Walnut lumber, and 4,000,-
900 feet of poplar, for which the peo-
pie of that section have received over
81 ,OO0,O 900 in cash.
Mr.. Rutherford now has contracts
out for 100000 feet of poplar lumber
to be delivered on the railroad at
McMinnville and other places above.
Of this Pearson & Co., will furnish
1850, 600, Mead & DeBard 100000,
Faulkner q Magness 100000, and
Fits d Hudgins 100000. This will
distribute something over $4,000

The Farmers Association.

Mr., S. E. Cunningham, Assistant
Commissioner Of Agriculture, was
here last Saturday according to ap-
pointment, to organize a farmers
association, but at the suggestion of
a number of our leading farmers the
matter was postponed until the first
Saturday in August. 1t was thought
that the farmers would have more
leisure at that time, and would there
fore take greater interest in the Or
ganization. Let every. farmer in the
county bear this in mind and be
present on the appointed day.
